Michael Moore has added a couple of famous figures to the board of directors of the Traverse City Film Festival, including Michigan's Jeff Daniels and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello.

Also among the five additions to the organization are filmmakers Tia Lessen ("Trouble the Water") and Mark Cousins ("The Story of Film: An Odyssey") and Traverse City resident and former Walt Disney executive Penny Milliken.

"Not many organizations can count Emmy, Oscar, and Grammy winners among their board members. Somebody find me a Tony winner who believes in our cause and we've got ourselves an EGOT," Moore said in a press release.

The 11-member board oversees the film festival, Traverse City movie houses the State Theatre and Bijou by the Bay and the Traverse City Winter Comedy Arts Festival. The board currently includes film director Larry Charles ("Borat") and actress Christine Lahti.

The festival routinely draws thousands to numerous venues in Traverse City for independent documentaries and features, classic films and other events. Organizers will tentatively announce its lineup June 27, and put tickets on sale to members on July 13.
